Food
Fight is an abridged history of American-centric war, from
World War II to present day, told through the foods of the
countries in conflict. Watch as traditional comestibles slug
it out for world domination in this chronologically re-enacted
smorgasbord of aggression.

Thank you everyone for all the amazing feedback and postings
about the film on the various forums of the interwebs. Great
comments. Before and after the film was completed, the friends
I screened it to fell into two camps: You Should Have
Captions and You Shouldn't Have Captions.
I felt that if I added captions it would be too easy. Besides,
if the viewer read the synopsis beforehand, it would be more
fun trying to figure it out while watching. However, there
are also people who watch it without reading the synopsis...and
they usually catch on to the analogy by 9/11...but even then,
much of everything else tends to get lost. Regardless, I hope
it entertains whether one's clued in or not, because some
of the action and food representation can be pretty obscure
even to the keenest of historians, foodies, and foodie-historians.

Before
the film was penned, I was imagining a history of ALL conflict.
I quickly realized that it would not only take forever to
do that, but I had no idea what ancient Egyptians were eating.
So I narrowed the scope to American-centric conflict...with
a dash of Israeli interest in there, from WWII on. From a
production standpoint, these parameters seemed feasable. I
kept it as simple as possible and in doing so, as many of
you have pointed out, there are countries that don't get a
proper say...and to that, I apologize.

For
those of you that have consulted the cheat
sheet...I hope it served to clarify the characters a bit
more. To those of you who want to know exactly what each battle
was...read on. WARNING: this
is a SPOILER!
